Woman charged over fatal hit and run accident

Northern Territory Police say a man was lying in the middle of a road at Humpty Doo when he was struck by a car over the weekend.

Police say the 35-year-old man, who has now been formally identified as Canberra man Rikki Colosimo was killed in the hit and run incident on Sunday morning.

A 37-year-old woman has been charged with hit and run, causing death, and is to appear in the Darwin Magistrates Court in January.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant John Worrall says police have also interviewed three passengers who were in the vehicle, as well as a number of people who were in the victim's company prior to his death.
